Only just got round to watching this, shame about the 2 presenters, especially when they stop playing to talk and just leave the scrum half waiting at the breakdown... it deprives us of a lot of gameplay footage! What is there looks very encouraging I think, and would say that the only reason this looks more like WCR is because the muppet playing keeps running sideways and passing it stfraight through to the wings!
I spotted a couple of offloads, a lot of different tackles and a few broken ones. I think the game itself looks to be a lot more realistic, and if played by a more rugby-savvy player (one that can instantly name the 3 nations involved in the tri-nations, unlike 1 of the presenters) I reckon it would look a lot better.
On the plus side, the one licensed kit we see (ulster) looks very good, and the goalkicking system looks very nice indeed. Reckon this one will be great fun, especially in multiplayer... maybe not an accurate simulation, but then it's not meant to be!
